Tesco Are simply taking action for what is a serious concern. if people are shoping at tesco they will easy spend a fiver in store . those spending under £5.00 will not need longer than 30 minutes to shop its that simple. The boy racers use the car park as a racing ground and car parking spaces are full so has become a growing concern getting worst.

If not this will see the further decline in Rotherham town centre shops and especially the market. I can&#39;t believe that staff can&#39;t find anywhere to park at 3pm. The car park was half empty when we were there on Saturday. I hope that shoppers will vote with their feet and avoid this greedy company.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3199919321583468611.post-90703938210896901182017-02-10T01:15:36.600+00:002017-02-10T01:15:36.600+00:00As someone who works here i can tell you now this ...As someone who works here i can tell you now this is not a profit gain. What it fails to mention is staff also have parking restrictions and on most cases cant find a space when we start at 3pm. Also the current problem of young adults in loud cars being a nusance makes us staff feel unformfortable leaving our cars down where when they use the car park as their personal playground. You wouldnt want your car damaged while shopping would you? No. Please dont jump to conclusions just because money is involved Best move the store has done since it opened.

More like a cynical move motivated by profit and self-gain. <br /><br />At a time when RMBC are trying to encourage more people to visit the town centre and support local, independently run businesses (e.g. Market traders), this decision seems to fly in the face of this. Like the previous commentator, I hope the council looks into this treats Tesco with the contempt it deserves. <br /><br />I suspect the real reason behind imposing the charges is that the store is not performing in line with what greedy Tesco and it&#39;s multi-million pound profits had hoped and they are trying to do everything they can to force shoppers to spend every penny with them.<br /><br />I can&#39;t think of any other reason why they would reduce the opening hours and impose charges on what is a largely empty and under-utilised car park. The reasons Tesco have given just don&#39;t stack up.<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3199919321583468611.post-9613998501707516722017-02-02T12:35:35.954+00:002017-02-02T12:35:35.954+00:00So by not allowing 2 hours free parking they are b...So by not allowing 2 hours free parking they are blatantly breaching the terms by which planning for the store was agreed ?
